Well, the problem is, I wasn't aware of a better way.

Now that I think about it, a similar method might be to keep a small table on a diskette, and remove the diskette (without closing the table first, of course). You would most likely get some error messages, but the risk for your production data would be greatly reduced.

Please note that I haven't actually tried this.
